End of Game Statements

Kevin Wilson (PIKES):  Congrats to Andy. Seems winning with one of the Lords with 4 players is tough. My first personality was one of the Lords and for that reason, when I got a chance to trade out I did. In hindsight I probably should have kept the Lord. Once I traded out I almost always had more than 1 card in hand that would stop an action or allow me to protect a minion or keep it on the board. Those certainly got in the way of trying to foment trouble for the Dragon King so it got hard to do much. As always, a crazy, unpredictable back-and-forth game.  Thank you Chris for running it. Always fun. Thanks to the rest for the game even if who I was may have been a bit too obvious.

Andy York (TTG):  Wow, never expected to win with an area control goal! Enjoyed the challenge. Appreciate the fine GMing Chris.

Bill Scharf (Happy Breakfast Club):  Thanks for running the game, and congratulations to Andrew for his win.

Christopher Hunt (The Blue Meanies):  Conratualation s to Andy on his fine win.  Throught he had 3 areas areas concentrating in the number of troubles.
